That was expected when such legislation Was first advocated. It Was not only intended under the new bill to further sacrifice states rights, but it Would also have interfered with the personal liberties of the people. The defeat of this measure conclusively shows that the people have awakened and propose to allowT no more radical legislation to be passed. For the past ten years the people have been led to promised reforms, and it became a common expression that we no more were a free people. Government in business and autocratic boards and bureaus have so disgusted the people that they are now taking a hand to eliminate further legislation in that direction. The best way to cull out the freaks is to carefully watch the lawT making bodies, whether state or national and refuse to vote for any of them who may happen to force themselves upon their respective political tickets.
